I will try to build subreddits, accounts, karma, bots and I hope it will become a business in the end. If I reach the business level I will get my Jr tag again and start selling here on the marketplace, however I won't be selling my service before that so please do not contact me about it as it would be against the BHW rules.

Currently I have around 100 accounts from 1 - 400 karma, some few years old, some few months, some few days. I did get Incogniton browser Professional edition but soon I might need to move above 150 profiles. Then I hired a Ukrainian developer on Freelancer and got myself a bot which uses selenium to automate Incogniton for post upvotes/downvotes and comment upvotes/downvotes. I've spent 500$ on this thing but it works and my accounts are not getting banned for upvoting/downvoting and I manage to push my post to the top of 500k subreddit easily, and I haven't tested the full potential yet.

I did grow one NSFW subreddit in the last 2-3 weeks to around 800 subs. Not the best result if I compare with others posting here and claiming thousands new subs per day, but it's trial/error type of process to me as I need to learn Reddit boundaries and how it breaths before I can become stable without suspensions and shadowbans. But currently its going pretty well, around 100 new followers per day, I guess I'm getting a hang of it. In so far process of growing subreddit I would say crossposting is a way to go. I did try to spam comments with my community link but you will eventually get shadowbanned for that. Crossposting from other accounts (not from my personal which holds the mod position + few others) seems to give the results and I hope it will lessen the chances of the community getting banned at some point.

With current traffic of my subreddit I crosspost great posts in the niche to my community with new accounts and I'm manage to get around 10 -20 karma per post which helps me grow my accounts. Goal for the accounts is around 500 karma per account which combined with account age unlocks you doors to post/cross-post to almost all communities.

With proxies I did have a struggle and it's still in this trial/error stage for me. For example with InstantProxies I would get spam alerts all over the social media and google, I guess their ip's are spammed to death. Sometimes I would open a new Pinterest or Reddit account and not do anything with it but still get it banned I guess because those IP's are just used for eternity or by same users at the same time (even tho their support is telling otherwise ofc).
Then I've tried ProxySeller, also from BHW which has great IPv6 proxies which are mega cheap BUT Reddit doesn't support IPv6 so you need to use IPv4 which are expensive like 2$ a piece which drops few dozen cents for larger quantities. Therefor for the sake of the accounts health Ive decided to give it a try with residential proxies which are expensive but what I'm trying to do is block images/videos to try to same some bandwidth.
First I tried SmartProxy - too expensive for my needs.
Next one to try was Proxy-Cheap which has an dashboard with a delay around 1 day which means you cannot track anything there, you just lose all your GB at one point, also seemed to me like GBs are disappearing unrealistically to what I'm really spending.
StormProxies is what I'm currently trying. They delivered 3 non working residential proxies gateways and after 24 hours of waiting still no replacement. Support did respond to my ticket however after few hours of waiting by asking me this amazing question https://prnt.sc/2OEokzPI40p2 the remaining working ones are not the fastest but ok cheap.

I think I will have to go back to private proxies if Storm support doesn't pick it up.
If you have a way to upgrade my setup please let me know I would appreciate it.
I also hope you'll get some good tips from me as well.
 
Interesting journey.
Everybody seems to be doing nsfw on reddit... why is that?
I have about 10 reddit accounts and tor browser works well for me.
 
Have you experienced any accounts get banned for no reason recently?
yes, like 1 week ago around 30 accs suspended asking for mail verification.

me personally as it seems there is more to crosspost, rise faster, and I want to solve karma issue for new accounts, so now with almost 1k community I post and get some karma on auto.
Good luck with your journey. :)
thnx man!
It sounds like you have your work cut out for you. Good luck!
well, not yet, but I hope I'll get there! thnx!


Ok so the community is almost at 1k now, I did slow down a bit last few days but still pushing. Account count is sitll around 100, karma is growing.

Stormproxies changed 3 bad ones after around 35 hours of waiting but at least they did so now I'm using them atm.

I have managed to get top models in my niche to post directly on my subreddit which is great as they also own followers who give me extra reach then. Also I have fresh content on fly now.
I did let them post links under their posts in comments and I do comments with other accouns and do upvotes for them so it's a small community but full of action and models like this.
The way I got models is surfed on biggest subs in my niche on phone and Invited models to my own community. At least 30-40% will join if not more I didn't really pay much attention on numbers but it's worth it!.

If anyone is looking for some kind of JV hit me up, I'm interested to hear what you have in mind.
 
I forgot to mention that after that last ban I did order 100 cheap emails from seller here on BHW and linked those to my accounts. This way you get rid of first issue that might appear when they Suspend you and ask you to reset the password to your email. So that for 35$ for 100 gmails which is amazing price.
 
I have a subreddit (NSFW) that has built up to a sizeable base. I'm wondering if I can monetize it somehow.

Getting accounts to 500 karma is pretty simple. Shouldn't take more than a day per account assuming they are old enough I'd assume.
 
What are you doing to prevent more accounts from getting suspended?
I think it might be InstantProxies that I was using at that time as all those bans didn't have much in common, meaning someone else spammed the shit out of Reddit using same IPs. Now I'm using residential proxies and haven't seen such issues since.

Other thing that might have trigger it at some of those banned accounts is that I was commenting and spamming with them by inviting models to also post in my community using reddit link r/communityname.

Third thing is emails, I use to use temp mails so I didn't have a way to reset the password by email and get the acc back. Now I'm using gmails.
Reddit business is quite pain in the ass shit. Good luck. I’ll follow your updates.
Thnx man!

What do you do to get to 500 karma, cross posting I guess?
 
Community is at 1.1k followers now, more and more models are joining and spreading it + I'm cross posting as well. Currently I get around 1000-1500 uniques per day in the community, I'm thinking about making a website if it would make any monetary value, what do you guys think? CrakRevenue on top of some tube site with embeded third party hosted content with custom titles, descriptions, tags or maybe chaturbate cam site with selected models to match my niche?

It would connected to the community and vice versa, I would put automod to post link to it on every post. Or maybe it's still too early for it? give me some wisdom :)
 
how do you make seperate browser profile for each account? I made a quick google search they say you can't do that on Tor.
I don't do any browser profiles.
I just create accounts there and use them.

I tried it, but Reddit isn't for me.
Seems like you have figured it out, good luck :)

thnx man!

Community is still growing steadily, crossed 1.4k followers. I've managed to get a lot more models on board by invitations and now it's becoming time consuming as well :D but it's good thing that I'm in contact with models all the time as I'm thinking of offering them upvotes/comments. I've managed to push my crosspost almost to the very top of 800k sub. Have to work on more accs, currently I'm at 105. Good thing is none are getting banned lately so I can grow and not just repair the basic ~100 that I work with atm.
